Shaping the Future of Science

Our department is dedicated to equipping students with the skills to analyze areas of knowledge where various disciplines intersect critically. We strive to inspire professional excellence, foster a lifelong commitment to intellectual growth, and nurture an unwavering foundation of faith. This mission is achieved by exploring the history of science and contemporary perspectives across scientific fields through the lens of a Christian worldview rooted in the Word of God, including a firm belief in the doctrine of special creation. By integrating these principles, students gain a cohesive framework for evaluating the past, present, and future of science with clarity and discernment. Our ultimate goal is to prepare individuals who, through their professional expertise, academic pursuits, and spiritual testimony, can glorify and exalt the Master while making meaningful contributions to their fields and communities.
